This is a great place. I found out about it just this last December. You can hear the music and get a great shot of the fireworks. It's really neat.
Can you go on the observation deck of the Contemporary at night as well? I don't think they would want us interupting din din at California Grill. HeHe

The Grand Floridain is a wonderful place to go.We take the monorail,then
proceed to the hotel pool down the right side. Once your past the pool we
go between the two hotel buildings and head for the lake and take a seat.

If your real objective is to just miss the crowds and not as a money saving choice, you can rent the Grand One Private Yacht for the fireworks.

You'll get a cruise on Bay Lake for up to 12 people, and can order any of the resort foods - deserts, full dinner, wine cheese and fruit, and you'll cruise around the Bay on 2 decks and a stateroom for as long as you've rented the Yacht.

At time for Wishes, the Yacht floats in the lake, front and center at the Magic Kingdom, far enough out for you to see all of the fireworks from both sides of the park. It's truly something everyone should do once, you don't realize how much of the show you miss by being closer.

Anyway, the music is piped onto the speaker system of the Yacht, and once the show ends, you redock at the Contemporary marina and you've had an incredible experience and missed the crowds. I'm not sure what the exact cost is, but if you did it with 12 people for 3 hours, it would probably run about $50 - 75 each for the evening, with very nice food.

My perfect spot for Wishes is down by the dock at Grand Floridian by Narcosses. When Wishes starts, Narcosses plays the music. So you can go right up to the railing at the restaurant or stand in hearing distance and enjoy the fireworks with little crowds!

Sunset point at the Polynesian is a pretty cool spot. Bring a towel or blanket to sit on the grass. We did this at least three times on our extended stay one time. No music, but unobstructed view of fireworks. It's located near the TTC dock.

We used to sneak up into the California Grill in the elevator and watched it from the deck on the roof. Obviously now you can't do that without a reservation, but otherwise... I say on the beach at Fort Wilderness
